Space Wolves refresh

[Commissar Greif]

These are incredible. That new Grimnar is one of the best looking models I've seen for 40K in a while. Might even be my mini of the year for this year. Really liking the new Arjac and Njal, too.

Wolf Scouts conspicuously absent as the sole omission from the rumors (unless I missed something).

 

Likelihood of being a separate Kill Team release: 99.9%

I suspect they'll be released as a kill team in the near future and I have a crackpot theory they'll be in a box facing off against Slaaneshi cultists.

Hey look, another update infinitely better than the World Eaters.

 

Arjac in particular to me looks great.

Observations:

- double edged chainsword, neat design with the hilt

- power sword option

- second backpack topper option

- really dig the harnessed chainswords

- nothing exciting going on with the backpacks

-  WHAT DID HE CUT OUT?

Seems to be no power fist for the leader :(

Fascinatingly, unlike most leaks that are someone somehow getting a full retail kit, these appear to be mis-molded sprues. 

Every sprue has evidence of parts that haven't been molded correctly. For example on the first image, the two pieces at the bottom left, possibly 66 and 71 appear to be shoulder pads that didn't get anywhere near enough plastic. Same thing with the arm part 20 in the second image. The sling from the gun it should be holding clearly has a gap where plastic didn't reach.

I'm guessing these are sprues that GW was casting to test the molds before full production. Presumably these should have been disposed of, but somehow made it out.

Nothing, it's a miscast sprue he has gotten a hold of. He is not sure himself what is missing.

Well I think your right about miscast screw cos the guy eho posted states 

 

 So I lucked into a miscast version of the new Grey Hunter Sprue and here’s some key take aways, note though that some parts are too miscast to be able to tell what they are so it’s not a complete picture.

 

There are 5 grey hunters per A4 size sprue and each set of 5 grey hunters comes with minimum

7 chainswords

8 bolter carbines

14 head options (9 unhelmeted, 5 helmeted)

1 mark 7 helmet, 1 mark 6 beakie helmet

6 front torsos & 5 back torsos

1 plasma pistol, 1 power axe and 1 power sword

13 shoulder pads (2 great company shoulder pads, 1 Ragnars Great Company and 1 Logan’s Great Company)

Interesting note about the leaked sprue. Reading the thread from the Space Wolves reddit the story behind them involved someone selling a job lot of sprues, this is similar to how the Lady Malys sprue supposedly got out. Perhaps someone working at the factory is taking bundles of discarded sprues home then selling them, occasionally they pick up something not yet released.

Any leaks for the new Wolf Priest sprue? I want to know if the hoods are connected to the heads cause I kinda want to use the mohawk one on a battle leader.

Both the grill helm and the beaky helm are a bit special as they have the very distinctive slanted "ears" design which is a hall mark of the mk. X primaris helm. 

 

No other versions of the grill helm have this, and the only other beaky helm that does is the one in the Raven guard upgrade sprue (and on Shrike's belt I guess). The older mark helmets in the sternguard kits for instance have the traditional straight "ears" that you'd find on any mk.7 or mk.6 helmet from kits prior.

 

Anyway, given that we know the helmets come apart in many parts, i guess it just means the older facial plates are compatible with the mk. X helm.

 

Still, for now the grey hunters kit looks like it'll be the only source of a mk. X style helmet with a mk.7 style face grill.

Yes that has always been part of the character, since he was introduced in 5th Edition in 2008. There's a built in teleporter that returns it to his hand. Keep in mind he predates the MCU and Thor's 2011 surge through mainstream pop culture (as opposed to just classical myth and niche pop culture).

Huh, never knew that. I am about as far from a Space Wolf fan as you can be, so I'm just happy you guys like it

Are there any indications as to what'll happen with long fangs or thunderwolves?
